| Sumario: | With the increasingly used semi-thyroidectomy and rapid progress in ultrasound-guided thermal ablation therapy for treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and cervical lymph node metastasis from PTC, ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) has got the mainstream position in pre-treatment cytopathologic diagnosis of PTC. How to acquire adequate and qualified cellular specimen for cytological examination has been described in several published expert consensus and practice guidelines. However, new issues continue to emerge in the real world of thyroid FNAB practice, and most of them are rooted in the perception and skills of the physician or technician who conduct FNAB. In this chapter, a series of new concept, idea, and technical methods are to be introduced and discussed. We believe that properly addressing these issues will facilitate the better implementation of FNAB and promote the new therapeutic modalities such as the thermal ablation to better progress. |
